Lung Nodule Clinic

Lung cancer remains a challenge in the world of oncology, and late diagnosis is the biggest problem. Our clinic creates a formal and effective process to diagnose lung cancer earlier when it is most treatable through the use of an evidence-based practice approach.

Multi-disciplinary Team

Our multi-disciplinary team meets regularly to discuss individual cases and provide prompt follow-up and evaluation. This team includes:

Why is Lung Nodule Detection Important?

A lung nodule is an abnormal growth on the lung that may be cancerous. It is identified by a computerized tomography (CT) scan or chest X-ray.

Bronchoscopy

The earlier lung nodules are spotted and lung cancer is diagnosed, the more treatment options are available. Our hospital offers the iLogic ENB system, which uses GPS-like guidance during a patient's CT scan to create a 3-D image of the lungs, allowing physicians to locate, test and plan treatment for lung lesions and lymph nodes difficult to access with traditional bronchoscopy.

Referrals and Appointments

Our Lung Nodule Clinic is committed to reducing the time from diagnosis to treatment of lung cancer. Physician referral is required. For more information, contact us at (281) 481-LUNG (5864) or e-mail SELung@memorialhermann.org.
